Fireside Bowl

This was a test to be able to use my Flickr account to post photos here. It worked!

This was a photo I took back in the day with my old Lomo camera of the Fireside Bowl, an all-ages venue in Chicago. As the name suggests, it's actually a bowling alley, but they put on some great shows there too (not on the lanes, but beside them).

Super Thursday

Thursday was a great day for a few reasons. I will list them.

1. No work.
2. It was warm out.
3. Got a good night's sleep.
4. My sisters are still in town.
5. We got Chinese food.
6. My new, old camera came.
7. My first issue of my free subscription to Moviemaker came.
8. Kyle and I got to see the NCAA Basketball tournament games USC vs. Kansas State game (okay, some of my luck ended here) and Wisconsin vs. Cal State Fullerton.

And here is the beautiful packaging of my new Lomo LC+A. I love this camera. I bought my first Lomo LC-A back in 1999, I think. I used it and loved it for years until it broke and then broke again to the point that it did not work in any capacity. So I thought about getting a new one since it broke a few years ago and didn't actually do it until this past week. And it came today, in this wonderful little bundle, and I'm so excited to have it back in my life and can't wait to start taking pictures with it again.

Lomo archive v.1

I've been scanning some old photos taken with my old Lomo camera (that is sadly now broken) to create a lomo wall/home at the Lomographic Society, something I've been wanting to do just for about, oh, nine years now. Finally I am on my way.

In honor of my newfound motivation, and to continue my wave of nostalgia, I will be posting a lomo photo a day for the next few days, or until I tire of it.
